Thanks for your input on this. I have seen the straight-line option in
horn charts, but only in handwritten ones. Most horn charts (even
handwritten ones) use a wavy line in my experience. The straight line
looks too much like a tremolo or something unknown to me as a piano
player. I've never seen an engraved piano score use that notation.

Yeah, I prefer the straight-line option over the zigzag, too.

Many thanks again!
